| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Freediver hits the nail on the head here. Yes you do need a good source and a good amp. But it seems to me that you can get a better source that is closer to the sound of a very expensive source for 1/10th the price than you can get an amp. If any... | |
| Amp for Dynaudios I have trouble driving my Audience 42 speakers with a 100 watt Creek Destiny integrated. I'm in a bedroom as well so it's not like I'm trying to fill a huge space with a small speaker either. Dyns are known to be a tough load so I wouldn't be look... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? I would rather have a great amp. You can get such good sound out of the lesser expensive DACs than you can out of a less expensive amp. Personally that is what I think after having experimented both ways. Ideally you would have good stuff for both... | |
| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 Yes I have also thought of the MBLs. They just seem so confusing I never troubled with them, but from what I've read the omni design sounds like it would be a perfect match for what I am looking for. I'll read into them more, thanks for the sugges... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 & Creek Destiny integrated Nope regular sized bedroom. It I play the Destiny at a fairly high level for more than an hour or so it will shut down. I had no problem driving the Audience 42 with an Outlaw 2150, but when I got the Destiny I ran into this problem. It's not a hu... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 & Creek Destiny integrated I think the Destiny sounds great. I bought one recently and have been very happy. It's only downside is it has limited power and if your speakers are a difficult load it might not be the best choice. I have a fair amount of trouble driving a set o... | |
| John Lennon, 29 years ago today.... I don't know why but I always remember this day. Not like the Beatles or John Lennon meant much to me when I was 9 years old but I always remember hearing it on Good Morning America that he was shot and killed and I always think about it on Dec 8t... | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital The main problem with the JC Penny rig is that you are limited to the sound that will be produced by that turntable and cartridge which probably is not that good. So you will be recording the sound of a crappy turntable and you will get a crappy s... | |
| Best USB DAC under $1000 I have the MHDT Paradisea + and the Cambridge DAC magic. They are both great sounding DACs. I think the Paradisea + is a bit better but it has a tube if that bugs you. I leave mine on all the time and the tube is supposed to last 8000 hours. The D... | |
| Will mother move your speakers at Thanksgiving? Might be safer to just move them back before anyone gets there. I've had many a nervous get together, last time my mother-in-law set her cup of coffe on top of my 10K speakers! | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs years ago I had a set of the Aleph 2s on some stands I had made that used an inner tube under the platform. I swtiched my system around and put them on some sand box style stands mostly because I liked the looks better. I was really bothered by th... | |
| What is an upgrade from the Creek 5350SE Classic? What about the Creek Destiny? I bought one and it is A LOT better sounding than my Outlaw 2150 (at 4X the price) It is supposed to have a great sounding phono board option as well. | |
| Big Star..?? Nice, I'll check them out. My buddy sent me a recording he made from their album third from vinyl and it's a great record. Never heard of them before then. | |
| Soulsavers, Mark Lanegan, Gutter Twins That link doesn't work for me. Can you check it and provide the correct one. Thanks. | |
| Budget integrated ideas: budget $650 I'd grab a Creek 5350 with that budget |
